    Did anyone see their sentinel comment show up? I kept trying but it kept saying that my comment was being reviewed

    Sounds like I didn’t miss much. I’m assuming 4pm is when the real shit goes down re preorders and reveals. And the server probably.

    These kinds of productions are often really tough to do, content is difficult to come by, and marketing people are often very difficult to stomach. So if the stream was low quality then I’m not really begrudging the £20.

    Even large scale high budget fests like Blizzcon are often flat or cringe inducing when devs and producers try to be too showy.

    I had to google who Taboo was though, that seems like desperate booking unless he’s a huge toy nerd.

    I assume they had to put chat on mod controlled or slow mode due to the maturity of the participants. Really surprised it wasn’t Twitter based.

    Glad I didn't sign up for premium. Given the email I got touting the party I'd be a bit peeved at the lack of content.

    Are Hasbro counting Cybertronic spree as their tf content?

    I was going to sign up yesterday for £40 but picking up Rotsun and Shadow Hide later on seems like a win to me. :cool:

    Anyone tempted to try and customise a little to make him fit in with a Generations Wreckers shelf?

    Yep, until we get a more g1 marvel comic toy, he’s my rack n’ ruin. I know @Imperator did a good job of making him look more like his comic book iteration by painting his flip down canopy-thingy.

    That moment when the the end of everything is bearing down upon you, but Ghost Space Dad tells you you're hard as fuck now, and you get back out there and literally kick the world's ass.

    My main takeaways from the live stream were the BC Rich Warlock bass, the Gibson SG, and the Nueno Bettencourt reverse head Washburn.

    No, I jest. It was exquisite. Like orgasm upon orgasm upon orgasm. Exhausting.

    Cheers, Douglas! This is the best thing about the WfC era.

    I went a bit more tangential for mine...

    ...the Cyberverse aesthetic didn't sit so well with Generations for me but Ironworks seemed like he was made to do this!

    I have no idea why but keep getting G1 Crossblades vibes from him. I dont even know why - he looks nothing like him. I think its just the colour and the the bit behind his head

    Yep, repainted his flip down armour to better integrate into the bot mode. Still need to repaint/rework the faces underneath at some point too. Though he's quite gappy, I like this non-traditional take on him, esp his Roadbuster-esque alt mode.

    Takara Netflix Nemesis Prime is £60 delivered at IDT. They also look to have had a restock of the last wave of Earthrise?
